"Did my private in about a year out here part time after work. Planes are available for training after license and they had some good instructors when I went there (although in this market I’m sure that changes frequently so if this post is a few years old…). Cherokees are good birds, I ultimately went on to buy an Arrow II with the straight wing so I believe in them well enough. They will do their job if you do yours. Some of the planes have PFD/MFD but I did my check ride and most of my training on a six pack so the analog won’t bite especially at the private level. If you are part time and or in the area this is a very solid choice, most the other schools in the area only want full timers and some are very expensive. I did mine to check ride endorsement at 68 logged for PPL, all in all had about 20k( or 20 AMU) in it. if that sounds expensive flying might not be in your future as it will only get worse… Overall very satisfied with the process."
"Barry and his staff have the start to a great flight school at KFYE! The airport location is great, the building has a nice rustic aviation feel and the interior has great views. There’s plenty of space to relax or study before a flight. The airport sits just outside of the MEM class Bravo airspace. You’re practicing maneuvers without delay flying to the practice area. Air traffic is light so you’re not spending time extending landing patterns or doing 360’s on the downwind. It’s a welcome change to be able to rent a Piper Cherokee in the Memphis area. I look forward to doing business with First Team Pilot Training and watching where Barry takes this flight school. Don’t pass this place up if you’re interested in learning to fly. Do yourself a favor and check out Barry and his team of instructors at First Team Pilot Training at Fayette County Airport (KFYE)."
"We looked at 4 training centers for my son to get his PPL, and First Team is the one we were most impressed with and chose. He loves working with his instructor, Bailey and the Fayette location is like brand new. The staff have all been nice and very supportive of him on his journey. I highly recommend First Team & Bailey."
"Awesome flight school. Awesome, welcoming location/airport at KFYE. Finished my PPL with Austin McCool, an EXCELLENT instructor! Pictures: 1) Awesome shot I got as we (I and instructor Austin McCool) just over KMEM! 2) Me just after passing my PPL ASEL checkride. :)"
"Great flight school not far from Collierville and Germantown. The school is outside of Memphis Class Bravo airspace so the training areas are not congested. The FBO has a very nice staff and always willing to help. The airplanes are updated and well maintained. If highly recommend First Team Pilot Training for all your flight instruction needs."
